A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Terms of Service

Draft · Last updated September 4, 2026

Pre-release draft: publisher identity, contact details and applicable launch-market terms require confirmation before publication. These terms are prepared for the current product, not as a promise of future features or availability.

1. About these terms

These terms describe the use of the Markly iPhone app and website. “Markly,” “we” and “us” refer to the app’s publisher, whose legal identity will be specified before launch. When the service is released, use is subject to these terms and any applicable Apple terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

You must be able to enter into an agreement under the laws that apply to you, or use Markly with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian where permitted.

2. What Markly does

Markly provides tools to add text and graphic watermarks to photos, reuse saved styles and export images. Features and compatibility depend on the version you use and your device. This website introduces the app; it is not an online photo editor.

A watermark is a visual label. It does not register copyright, prove ownership, prevent copying, or guarantee protection against removal or misuse.

3. Your content stays yours

You retain any rights you have in the photos, logos, text and other content you use with Markly. We do not claim ownership of that content. You are responsible for having the permissions needed to edit, reproduce and share it, including permissions for any identifiable people or third-party trademarks.

Markly’s built-in brand or social icons do not grant permission to use a third party’s trademark or imply an affiliation or endorsement. Follow the relevant rights holder’s rules.

4. Permitted use

You may use the app for lawful personal or business watermarking. Do not use it to infringe intellectual property, impersonate others, misrepresent ownership, violate privacy, create unlawful content, or interfere with the app or website. Do not copy or distribute the app itself without permission. This does not restrict rights that applicable law expressly gives you.

5. Saving and exporting

Keep independent copies of important originals. Recent projects and saved settings are convenience features, not a backup service. Project records may contain previews and settings without preserving complete source photos. Deleting the app or changing devices can affect locally stored content.

Check exported images before relying on or sharing them. Export format, quality, permissions, storage availability and the destination can affect results. You are responsible for files you send to other apps or services.

6. Prices and App Store terms

This website does not sell subscriptions or process payments. Any price, paid feature or purchase made available in a released app must be disclosed before purchase. Purchases through Apple are subject to Apple’s applicable payment and refund terms. Nothing on this page enrolls you in a subscription or promises free lifetime access.

Use of an App Store version is also subject to the applicable Apple end-user license agreement. These website terms do not replace Apple’s required license terms.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains local photo processing, saved data, permissions and website hosting. Sharing an image through another service is subject to that service’s terms and privacy practices.

8. Our intellectual property

The app’s software, original interface, branding and website content belong to their respective rights holders. Permission to use Markly does not transfer ownership of those materials. Your own content remains yours as described above.

9. Availability and responsibility

We aim to provide a useful and reliable tool, but cannot promise uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every device, or error-free exports. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without additional warranties.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service, such as lost profits or loss of data. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded, including applicable mandatory consumer rights or liability for fraud or intentional misconduct.

10. Changes and stopping use

You may stop using Markly at any time. We may update the app or these terms as the product develops. Material changes will be indicated by an updated date and any additional notice required by law. Changes do not remove rights you already have under mandatory law.

11. Applicable law

Mandatory consumer protections and any rights to bring a claim in your local courts remain unaffected. Publisher-specific governing-law provisions, if appropriate, will be finalized for the launch markets before release. This draft does not impose arbitration or waive class-action rights.

12. Contact

For questions, support or concerns about these terms, please use our contact form, hosted by Google Forms. The publisher’s legal name must still be added before public launch.
